Malaysia’s nearly 100-year-old former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has been hospitalised for “continuous coughing”, his aide told AFP yesterday.
“Mahathir is expected to be treated for the next few days,” Sufi Yusoff said, adding he had been admitted on Monday.
A two-time former PM Mahathir turned 99 last week. He has suffered several heart problems in recent years and underwent bypass surgeries.
